Our latest Jokes Per Minute attempt takes on the world of Rick and Morty.

Get your calculators out, biiiiitch!

Rick and Mortycame out of absolutely nowhere in late 2013.

And what a surprise it was!

If only I had hard statistics to back up my claims.

Again, this is a terribly unfunny (and perhaps unfair) way to look at a comedy.

LikeVeep,Rick and Mortypresents its own challenges in figuring out exactly what constitutes a joke.

It features a fair amount of dialogue-based humor, which is easy enough to track.

Plus, theyre really, really funny.

Start placing your bets on what will top the list now!

Morty

Its a figure of speech, Morty.

I dont respect them.

Few would argue that the Pilot is among the series strongest episodes.

From there, the JPM starts to slow down.

Gazorpazorp is plenty funny but more conceptual in nature.

It has less time for jokes than other episode.

It never failed to make me chuckle.

Sometimes from a chair.

Sometimes from a closet.

Almost always dressed as Superman.

Its especially fun to watch now that theJurassic Parkfranchise is apparently a thing again.

Ive not seenJurassic Worldyet, but I find it hard to believe its better than this.

Anatomy Park may have just too much action for a higher JPM.

The introduction of each disease-monster is counted as a joke only once.

Morty, can you get to the left nipple?

Itll keep us safe.

It also quite randomly features the minute tied for most jokes in the season.

Somewhat charitably, I counted the fake townspeoples mantra of Slow down!

You want words, date a languager.

Flu-hating rapper just flowing away / I love Morty and I hope Morty loves me.

Id love to wrap my arms around him and feel him inside me.

Rick Potion #9 is another great example of Rick and Mortys visual joke supremacy.

Every utter of Bitch from Scary Terry counts as a joke under JPM rules.

Stickler Mr. Meseeks

This is the first big surprise of the list.

One thing we can conclude from the episodes JPM trend, however, is just how consistent it is.

Bird-Person, Slow-Mobius, Abradolf Lincler.

Its powerhouse after powerhouse.

The various difference verses and transitions in the Rick Dance earned three jokes.

That would have skewed things quite a bit, however.

But Ricked takes the JPM runner-up title with a slightly shorter runtime.

And the townspeoples gullible responses to each one is never not funny.

Ricks pass-the-butter robot and Rick and Summers DMX-scored rampage are also series highlights.

Summer

Of course Rixty Minutes features the highest JPM ofRick and Mortyseason 1.

Its format isnt so much an episode of television, as it is a JPM steroid shot.

This episode is a marvel and mandate for the JPM as a statistical tool.

Its just a treat.

As Morty tells Summer: Nobody exists on purpose.

Everybodys gonna die.
